This paper aims to introduce a model for teaching ethics across the curriculum in higher education, developed at a research university in Latin America (RULA), and to offer, drawing upon the lessons learned, actionable recommendations for integrating ethics into educational frameworks, guiding institutions and educators in fostering ethical competencies among students. The paper details the model's components, analyzes data collected during the evaluation of the faculty training course, and conducts a self-evaluation to formulate recommendations for future users. The model described in this paper is built on the belief that teaching ethics fosters a positive transformation of social environments, interpersonal relationships, and individual behavior. As a result, we seek to inspire other faculties, and educators in general, to design and test new strategies for ethical training.
